Chicken wings and drumsticks recipe tips
How to make chicken nibbles
Keen for more chicken wings recipes and ideas? To make chicken wing nibbles for finger food, use strong kitchen scissors to snip tips off wings, then cut the wings in half at the joint. Trimmings can be saved and frozen to make stocks.
Marinating chicken wings and drumsticks
Zip-top plastic bags are an easy way to marinate or coat chicken wings and drumsticks with a spice rub. Place the chicken and the marinade, or spice rub into the bag; remove air and seal the top tightly. Massage the food through the bag to coat. Place the bag on its side on a tray; refrigerate, turning occasionally. Try to reuse the plastic bags by washing and drying them, or recycle them at a soft plastics recycling facility if your local council offers this service. Alternatively, try reusable silicone food bags.
